Pugh and Perez Thanksgiving

We Pughs had the awesome chance to play with Parker, Sofia, Tally, and Trent all extended weekend long!

Avid blog readers may recall that Parker is Daniel and my godson and Jacob's cousin, 5 months his junior. Sofia is his adorable 1 year old sister- and we hadn't seen this awesome family in nearly a year (when Sofia was merely weeks old)!

Needless to say, there were loads of hilarious games, adventures, and comments.

We know Jacob will miss napping with Parker, being a Parker-parrot, and having a constant companion, but fortunately they have a lifetime of family fun to come!

Turkey day countdown

Alright, time is getting away from us at a breakneck speed. Already November is nearly over...Thanksgiving is in 3 days...Thomas is here in under 4 weeks (I think maybe 3 weeks...but Daniel encourages me to think closer to Dec 21st....ugh).

In these past few weeks, we've had many adventures:

On Veteran's day, Jacob and I visited the Phoenix zoo. It was a bit pricey, but a good time; perhaps we got spoiled by the zoo in Oakland!

We've done some serious fall cleaning and Jacob got in on the action by vacuuming the coffee table as Daniel cleaned the ceiling fan.

Artist Jacob emerged again, this time in the form of DVD arrangements. While we don't encouraged him playing with DVDs...he really did make a cool pattern!

And, finally, a shot of Jacob with his love: ice cream (really frozen yogurt...same difference).

catch-up blog

Here are some photos from last weekend (halloween) up through yesterday...we'll try to get those videos up, but blogger is not liking them for some reason!

Apparently 2 pumpkin bags for candy was necessary.

Fireman and daddy approaching middle of the block (we went down one side of the street and up the other).

And Jacob enjoying his jolly rancher stick while back at Yaya and Didi's house. Amazingly, he STILL had his hat on! Recall, last year he wouldn't even let us try to put the hat on...what a difference a year can make.

This is Thomas anhd myself at 33.5 wks. Life is still decent; minimal swelling, smaller weight gain than with Jacob, and so many things going on all the time!

Smug grown-up boy showing us how huge he is...and how we should prepare ourselves for how small Thomas will be in comparison!
